Anyone get a chance to check them out? For that hefty price tag, they better come with a free fucking BEAT! How are they??

Meh... I dont think you should be spending that much money on headphones. Also...what the hell are the frequency ranges for it??

the search engine isnt workin for me, but there are 2 threads on this i believe... the headphones take 2 AAA batteries... not a good look if u ask me.

Yeah, they are noise cancelling headphones...apparently they don't work at all if the batteries die.

I saw a comparison to a set of Bose headphones.....Bose wins by a hair.


I hear the Beats headphones are a little to high on the low end, while the Bose is more balanced.

spoke to my local guitar center rep and he said out of 10 that they sold, 6 were returned due to blown out speakers. thats kinda shocking considering these are supposed to handle low ends better than regular headphones.

there are 2 many old products that are still excellent, and are still bein manufactured for me to try something else... when new stuff comes out, i'll take a look at it, but most of the time, i avoid buyin it.

Get a hold of some Bose headphones....

Sony MDR 7509HD

There are very very capable headphones out there with similar ranges for way less money and don't use noise cancelling and don't need batteries.. (one of the Bose joints use batteries for noise cancelling, only...so if the batteries die....the headphones still work).

The Beats by dre have just become more of a fashion/status thing than anything else...I personally wouldn't buy it with my money... If it's given to me, great...I'll just exchange them for something else and use the extra money to buy something else..

How the hell do you blow them out? Shit...must be either a shitty player or they're not limiting the sound and putting them too loud....

i heard em...they are dope for listening to music, not sure I'd use them for production, but general playback the stuff sounds nice. Definitely hyped up on the low end...but not too bad. I'll get some skullcandies before those though lol.

Not as a studio phone, but just for general listening/beatmaking.

i'm partial to the audio technicas mt50 joints...gotta grab a pair

They sound nice, they are definatly a luxury item as opposed to a funtional tool. I bought em cause they sound great look dope and cause the chronic was the first tape i bought! Also got a 100 discount, i dnt think id pay full price for em, they are kinda flimsy...if your looking for a good pair of headphones to WORK with check out ultalrasone's HFI line...they are unfuckwitable, they are designed for prolonged sessions, the cone is positioned futher away amd at an angle so that the vibrations travel directly down your ear canal...dont waste money on bose...ever. For another 50 bucks you can get a pair of PRO cans.
